White lines around texts with object effects applied

I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
Any help?
In Acrobat Pro:
In Photoshop:
In Skim:

Thanks so much, Bob.
My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

  • Help!!  White line around image with placed in Illustrator from Photoshop, possible CMYK issue?

    I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop.  When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product.    I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this.  I'm desperate for any help.

    Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.

  • Need to add a cut line around text with a stroke

    This has been driving me nuts for years and I've often found ways to "kind of" accomplish this, but I figured someone here might be able to help.
    Create text, convert to outlines, add a stroke. Ok now I want to add a cut line around that entire thing so it's dye-cut out on vinyl. My cut line is just a stroke with a color defined in my pallet. I can create 2 strokes, but I can't figure out how to get one to go to the edge of the other. I also tried duplicating the image, creating just an outline, but it's impossible to get it exactly outlined by hand.
    If I'm not explaining this right, please let me know.
    So there I have the text, converted to outlines, white fill and gold stroke. I need to be able to dye-cut this. If you add a new stroke, it's on top of the old one. Basically I want to add a stroke, to the stroke, but only the outside.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thank you Larry. I kind of followed what you said but I think there's some steps missing here?
    I'm glad you showed me how to create additional strokes without creating outlines, I was never clicking above "character", I had to click above it to add a new stroke, if you have the text selected, it's greyed out.
    Ok so I created a new stroke, then selected it, went to FX > Path > Offset Path. I chose 0.02 (closest I could seem to get, but not perfect, ok in some areas, bad in others), miter joins set to 4? Are those the same settings you used? You didn't tell me how much you offset yours. Then I selected the offset path stroke and went object > expand apperance, but it didn't seem to do anything? It just removed the offset path FX option on the stroke? This is where I'm pretty confused. Why even do the step after the offset, couldn't I just stop there and print?
    After adding a stroke and offsetting
    After selecting Object > Expand appearance.
    As you can see, like on the C. There is a gap between the cut line and the stroke at the top, but there's no gap on the left side, but there is on the right, and there is on the bottom as well? If I printed this, I would get white fill, gold stroke, and then another white stroke basically.
    Thank you for your patience, I'm self-taught but over the last 4 years of using it every day I'm still learning new tricks!

  • After importing pictures they became grey with doted white line around

    I have imported pictures (RAW CR2 format) from my camera hundreds of times and they all went well. But this time the only the import worked well (I saw the preview when each picture was imported). Then Iphoto asked if i would like to delete the pictures on the camera after import. I deleted them. But then when I should take a look at the pictures they were grey with doted white lines around all of them. When I chose a picture and check the properties I can see that the pictures use normal space. I tried to drag one picture to a directory in the finder but this didn´t work either. The export doesn't work either. When I scroll fast among the pictures I can see them for a short period but when I stop scrolling they will turn grey with doted white line around. Whats wrong? and how to solve?
    system: iPhoto11 and Lion.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • White line around image

    Hi everyone,
    I keep getting a white line appear around images I save in
    Photoshop and then insert into Dreamweaver. It happens when I also
    save text with a transparent background. The text has a very faint
    white line around it. Why is this?

    Where are you seeing this, in PS? or DW design view or in a
    browser?
    When you insert your pics in an HTML page with 0 border, do
    you still see
    the border?

  • DW8-Fine white line around images

    DW8 - On some of my images there is a very fine white line
    around the edge when the site is previewed in the browser. The site
    has an almost-black background color (181714), and I use the same
    color in making the image backgrounds (in Photoshop CS), for
    example roll-over images. How do I get rid of this?

    You wouldn't set this in the Property inspector, you'd set it
    in the CSS,
    and the only time you need it would be when the image is
    within a link:
    a img { border:none; }
    Also, you wouldn't expect this effect to produce a white
    border - it would
    be a blue one (by default).
    I'm guessing the fine white line is part of the image (it's
    easy to
    undercrop when the canvas is white).
    > I've noticed
    > that in tables, having nothing there is "bigger" than
    specifying a zero.
    If you have nothing there, you will get the default value for
    the all of the
    table attributes, which is often (but not always) not zero.

  • Odd lines around text in dissolve

    Hi Folks,
    I have been experiencing some odd lines around text when I am dissolving and can't figure out why. The text is generated from FCP and these lines only appear after rendering. Prior to rendering I can step through the dissolve and all is well. I have tried changing the compressor setting for the sequence to all flavors of ProRes, and even uncompressed, and it has no effect. The only thing that did have an effect was to change to an additive dissolve from a cross dissolve. However this makes the dissolve less linear and unacceptable.
    All of the effects handling is being done by Final Cut so there's no third party hardware in the mix. I am running on a 17" MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8 and FCP 7.0.1 with motion filtering set to best.
    Additionally here is a link to an image grabbed from the timeline showing what I am experiencing.

    I tried the Outlined Text generator and still have the issue. If I add an outline it actually gets worse. I did however try Boris and with that it goes away. This is really odd and I wish I knew what was causing it. For now though I guess I stick with Boris.
    Thanks

  • Annoying white line around artwork

    There's a strage thin white line around a black artwork, it's easier to see it with red background.
    It's hard to see it so i zoomed in.
    Here's the Appearance panel with this object selected:
    How do I get rid of it?
    Illustrator CS5
    Windows 7

    Set your black artwork to either:
    Overprint and view in Overprint Preview or Multiply (in Transparency).
    That way you won't see the white lines.
    On the other hand, although they won't show up in print, those white lines (when viewed in CMYK preview) can sometimes be a useful indicator that an overprint is required.

  • White lines around black

    I know that some similar things have been discussed.  The only reason that Im bringing this up is that some have said that a white jagged line around a black object will not appear in print, and to check it by making a pdf out of it.  I made a pdf and the white line still shows up.  If I take this to the printer tomorrow is the white line going to print if it shows in the pdf?  or do I have nothing to fear?
    Thanks for your help!

    You can tell if it is only a preview artifact by zooming in incrementally and seeing if the white increases proportionally or of it stays abut the same thickness as you zoom in closer.

  • White lines around figures

    Captured ftg from DVD created from digi-beta from original 35mm film. Editing a 4 minute trailer but certain clips (30%) show short curved white lines around heads, figures, etc. Sort of like zebra but not? One clip has first frame with horizontal white lines top to bottom. Same clip shows up as green screen in QT file I made. Also a few freeze frames for a second or two. 70% of trailer is fine. Thought maybe the capture had wrong settings?

  • HTTP Receiver Adapter payload as single line plain text with out any tags.

    Hi PI experts,
    I have a strange problem in http receiver adapter.
    Sender RFC (SAP)  Receiver: HTTP.
    Receiver system expects the output from XI in the below format in a single line plain text with out any tags in the payload. and the content type should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    Group=Test&Sentinel=Web%20Server&Facility=5345&Order Number=XT-XWHM-Y-NA&Serial Number=123456&@LABEL_QUANTITY=5&@LABEL_NAME=111114_Q
    Is there any way to achieve this using http receiver adapter. Business is not ready to accept the output from XI not even in a single element instead they only need it as a JUST a plain text.
    Appreciate early response on this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jitender

    Dear Ola,
    Could you elaborate how you achieved in catching the response data from the receiver in case of HTTP receiver adapter?
    The target service is not a WebService but some python script that must to receive some paramters via POST request.
         HOW can I post this parameters?
    Here you entered the fields of the message type of the request in the header parameters of the receiver adapter? Thats fine.
    But what about the message type and vice versa of the response from the receiver?
    Regards

  • Does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    Draw the shape which is to be knocked out (a line in the example) in a layer above the logo. The colour doesn't matter because it will be made invisible.
    Double-click in the space to the right of the layer's name in Layers panel to open its Layer Style window where advanced blending can be modified.
    Set Fill Opacity to zero and Knockout to "Deep" or "Shallow" depending on whether the knockout should be limited to a containing Group.

  • White lines around flash embed

    I've created a gif animation and saved it as a flash doc. When I put it into a GoLive page, it has a one pixel white line around the top and one side (the side sometimes switches depending on the animation). This is not in my animation files and it prevents me from using a black background or butting another image on top of it.
    Any thoughts on what's causing it and how to get rid of it?

  • Textured Text with after effects

    Hi all,
    I just want to know if there's a way that I can generate a textured text in after effects.
    Thank.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the site as I'll check it out.

    The question isn't really clear to me, so I'll take a guess and suggest that you look into using a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf6a.htm l as a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf9a.htm l, with the underlying (fill) layer being a texture image.
    I'll also remind you that doing a simple search using the http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=texture+text&l=aftereffects_product_adobelr is a good way to get answers to questions like this.
